KFIX Rock News: Final Grateful Dead Show Will Not Allow Camping

deadmainCHICAGO (AP) – Deadheads will not be allowed to camp for the final Grateful Dead shows in Chicago in July.

Soldier Field spokesman Luca Serra tells The Chicago Tribune the requests from fans for overnight permits for parking lots were denied for safety reasons.

Serra says there will be increased security for traffic management.

Soldier Field has allowed overnight parking just once, for a 2007 college football game.

Meanwhile, promoter Peter Shapiro says he’s working on a way for fans who didn’t get tickets to view the show.

What that will be has not been determined.
